Clyne hits leveller from 12 yards
Forster at fault for Villa goal
Keeper rushes out of goal but does not get ball
Paul Lambert's 100th match in charge of Villa
Villa have not won since 13 September
Bob Geldof didn't like Mondays. And neither does Paul Lambert.
That's because Villa have won only one of their last 13 Premier League games on a Monday - a thumping 6-1 victory against Sunderland in April 2013.
Sure Lambert will take a 1-0 win tonight, even if it's a deflection off somebody's backside...
AW: Why is everyone beating on Villa so much, that run of 6 losses included Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Man City and Spurs?!!
Aston Villa: Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Cleverley, Westwood, Sanchez, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Weimann. Subs: Bacuna, Cole, Richardson, Bent, Given, Lowton, Grealish.

'The king is dead, long live the king!' Some Saints fans may or may not have sang that ditty from the St Mary's stands.
What's been the secret of Saints success? And, most importantly, can they sustain this blistering start and nab one of the Champions League qualification places?

But, while Villa's engine has malfunctioned quicker than Nico Rosberg's, Ronald Koeman's men have showed the staying power of Lewis Hamilton.
Second-placed Saints are the only side looking capable of stopping leaders Chelsea from taking the chequered flag before Easter after winning 11 of their last 12 games in all competitions.
Jordan Watkins:, external Hope @ShaneLong7 bangs in a couple tonight and cheer us baggies fans up. He loves scoring against the Villa after all
Rian Hoskins:, external While Nathaniel Clyne has got the praise he deserves, Ryan Bertrand has been overlooked. Been outstanding for Southampton.
Injured Villa defender Philippe Senderos:, external Come on Villa! Let's do this tonight. I will be back very soon hopefully.
Aston Villa make three changes, all in defence, as Alan Hutton, Ciaran Clark and Jores Okore all start. Captain Ron Vlaar is among those missing.
Southampton make just one alteration, Republic of Ireland striker Shane Long replacing the injured Steven Davis.

Football is a fickle game. We all know that. But Aston Villa's change of fortunes has been remarkable. What has gone wrong Villa fans? Or was it ever right and just masked by a few half-decent displays early doors against some mediocre sides (including Liverpool)?

Image source, Getty ImagesNow Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert wishes he could become a Time Lord and do the past 72 days differently. After that triumph at Anfield, his team lost six straight matches before ending that horror run with a 0-0 draw at West Ham ahead of the recent international break.
Seven matches. One goal scored. Thirteen goals conceded. Grim reading for Lambert and a record which would even see 'The Doctor' throw in the towel to the Daleks.
Image source, Getty ImagesLet's jump in our BBC Sport TARDIS, external and head back 72 days to 13 September. A time when Birmingham, or specifically the Aston suburb of the Second City, was a different place.
It was a place where positivity lingered in the autumnal air. It was a place where football fans were optimistically thinking of an European trip next season. It was a place where Aston Villa were second in the Premier League table.
A 1-0 win at Liverpool meant Paul Lambert's men were flying high. Even Villa centre-half Philippe Senderos, as our picture shows, looked surprised....
A lot can happen in 72 days.
